Stay at Big Twin Lake
Very pleased with the property. House had all desired amenities, great location, and comfortable for a large group. Communicating with the property owner was easy and he was responsive. As another mentioned, the beach area was different than pictured, but there was still a good area for young kids to access water and play.

Great family vacation
Absolutely gorgeous views! House was very comfortable, we had 12 adults and 2 babies under 6 months. Baby families were in the basement and no one could hear us downstairs. Lower level rooms didn’t feel like basement. Another super nice thing was the towels and linens didn’t feel super cheap and overused. We might go back in winter!

Highly recommend
Overall a beautiful place to stay. Glenn the owner of the place was great to work with and very easy going. Only one item, the photo of the house from the water showed a sandy beach. The beach is no longer there due to the lake level, but access to shallow water is very easy for little ones from the docks.

Family reunion in July
We loved the lake, the dock and the deck - we made awesome memories with three generations. We rented kayaks to enjoy the whole lake. Ample life jackets were available at the house. Some of us were spooked by the many animal heads mounted inside, but we had a good amount of space. Downstairs could benefit from a dehumidifier. Cherry season is the best!

Greatly enjoyed our stay.
The Polo Lodge exceeded our expectations. It was clean, spacious and very comfortable. The extended table on the deck and the comfy living room worked very well for our family. It is an amazing clean, clear lake that my family enjoyed immensely.

Outdoor Lakeside Fun
Our family gets together every 2 years for our reunion and spend a week together at a lake house that holds us all. There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate 6 couples and their children. We loved being outside on the dock enjoying the lake. We fished but didn't catch anything legally big enough to keep. The lake was perfect for water sports, it was like glass in the morning and really never got choppy. In the house the two large tables (one on the deck and one in the dining room) accommodated everyone. The kitchen was a little smaller than we were use to but we made it work. The house offered a lot to look at with its hunting theme and darker décor. We ladies would of like to have had more of a beach décor, this is decorated to appeal more to the outdoors man. All in all we had a fantastic time together and are very appreciative for our stay at the Polo Lodge!
